Tavern idea nixed EMU coffee shop proposal gaining steam By Stasia Scarborough Or the Emerald After discovering that a tavern in the KMU is an all but impossible dream, a student organization is now planning to organize and rally support for a student coffee shop in its place. Student University Affairs Board member James Kirkland says that after presenting the tavern idea to University Presi dent Paul Olum and his staff, SUAB decided that a tavern was an unrealistic expectation. But student interest in a gathering place is strong enough, Kirkland says, that plans are now underway to put a coffee shop in the building. Recent interest in a student gathering-place began with the idea for a tavern, but at the end of fall term the “upper-level decision” didn’t look favorable, Kirkland says. The general reaction, Kirkland says, was “if you want to go ahead, take the necessary steps” (to obtain a liquor license). But beyond that, the idea faced opposition from Speakers will focus on women in society A series of lectures sponsored by the Center for the Study of Women in Society will occur throughout winter term. Marilyn Frye, a visiting scholar from Michigan State University and a professor of philosophy, will speak Tuesday on "The Meanings of Dif ference,’’ a discussion of feminist theory. The lecture will be at 7:30 p.m., in Room 167 EMU. On Friday. Barbara Duden of the Technical University of Berlin and a visiting assistant professor from the University of California at Los Angeles, will discuss "Medical Images of Women in Eighteenth Century Germany."

Miriam Johnson, a University associate professor of sociology, will speak on "Freud and Feminism: The Incest Debate” on Jan. 29 at 7:30 p.m., in Room 167 EMU. "Work and Women in the Computerized Society” is the topic to be covered by Ida Hoos, research sociologist at the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley. The lecture is on Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the Forum Room, EMU.

The speech begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Dad's Room, EMU. Former speeches in the pro gram, funded by a $3 million bequest from William Harris in 1982, have drawn fairly large crowds ranging from 50 to 300 people for the more well-known speakers, according to Marcia DeCaro, secretary for the center. Olum’s staff, primarily because of image and liability problems, he says. A liquor license for the coffee shop is not being considered, Kirkland says. “That’s something for future generations.” But the intended emphasis of the coffee shop “is to establish mood,” Kirkland says. "There’s no reason why we’d have to serve alcohol.” The coffee shop is being designed as an alternative to the Fishbowl and Breezeway, which Kirkland says are not conducive to study and are open only limited hours. SUAB will hear the coffee shop proposal at their regular meeting Thursday, at which time Kirkland says he expects to set up a task force to work out more of the details. The proposal will also have to be approved by the EMU Board, which oversees operation of the building, according to Adell McMillan, EMU director. Adam Apalategui, a member of the EMU House Board, mentioned to his committee in their last meeting that plans for a tavern were in the works and the com mittee would be kept apprised. Location of the coffee shop is also another obstacle the task force must face. Kirkland says that he was considering the cur rent location of Anderson’s Sporting Goods, which has a nion, to discover what kind of place students want. But already some plans are in the works, including what kind of image and atmosphere the coffee shop should have. In designing the coffee shop. ‘There’s only so much Stash tea a person can take. I’d really like to have a cappuc cino machine. ’ James Kirkland lease that expires this year. But Don Smith, manager of the Anderson’s store, and Harvey Fox, owner of the chain, say they haven’t been asked about the availability of the lease. Fox adds that negotiations for lease renewal have not begun. The task force also will face the job of surveying student opi Kirkland says he has the Beanery coffee shop on 12th Avenue in mind, offering an alternative to the usual fare of the Fishbowl and Breezeway. “There’s only so much Stash tea a person can take. I’d really like to have a cappuccino machine,” Kirkland says, ad ding that “better coffees” would be the mainstay. r i i i >■ Coupons in the Emerald save you money. Check every page, every day.
